Aguilera axes piercing

The 'Dirrty' singer - who used to boast 12 different pieces of body jewellery, including ones in an intimate place - once vowed she would always keep her nipple ring "for herself".

However, recent pictures of the blonde beauty, dressed in a see-through top, showed no sign of the ring, and it has been claimed the 25-year-old singer had it removed for her music executive husband, Jordan Bratman.

A source said: "Now she's married, Christina has decided to remove her right nipple ring - the last of her 12 piercings."

Christina recently claimed she would not tone down her raunchy image just because she had married.

She said at the time: "Being sexual is a huge part of my artistry and who I am as a woman. When I am sexual in my lyrics or videos, it's because I am being honest. I'm in favour of any woman being proud of her body.

"I'm going to stick to my guns and keep pushing the envelope no matter what people say."
